It’s almost time to bid aloha to 2012. In Hawaii, 2013 will get under way with fireworks bursting in the midnight sky. Toes-in-the-sand spectators will greet the new year on Monday night and very early on Tuesday morning, gazing skyward while stretched out on mats and in beach chairs along Waikiki beaches and on various other shorelines in the Islands.

Here’s our list of New Year’s Eve 2012 fireworks displays. Hauoli Makahiki Hou! — Happy New Year!—and all the best for 2013 from the HAWAII Magazine ohana!

Fireworks are shot from platforms docked in Honolulu Harbor so the best spots to watch are along the marketplace's long pier. The marketplace will host a soiree dubbed “BIG BLAST & BIG BANG,” featuring DJs and musicians performing on eight stages. There will also be a fashion show, exhibits, and street performers. Festivities get under way at 7 p.m. For more event details, click here.
